The Lyceum continues a prosperous career, in the face of
its nume- rous rivals : Mrs. KEELEY boldly keeps the field ; and fresh novelties are in preparation. Meanwhile, Miss WALCOTT, a young actress of promise, has made a successful delifit, in a farcical piece produced many years ago, under the title of Personation, and now rechristened Out- generalled. Miss FAIRBROTHER takes Miss WOOLGAR'S part in the bur- lesque of Aladdin ; and a Miss AULEN, another debutante, plays Merry Peeksniff in Martin Chuzzlewit.
The New Strand also has commenced a fresh season, under the ma- nagement of Mr. ROBERTS. The new features are an American low comedian, Mr. MARBLE—who, we are told, possesses an original vein of sly humour; and a broad burlesque of the Sonnambu/a, in which Mr. H. HALL is the grotesque and gigantic representative of the sleep- walking damsel.
